Congratulations to Kin on his News & Views piece, “Precision Pruning of Molecules,” which appeared in todays issue of Nature. The article highlights a recent breakthrough by the research group of Prof. Huw M. L. Davies at Emory University, on the C2-selective C–H functionalization of linear aliphatic compounds (e.g., pentane).
